after the drawing set-out is complete. The 3D module must be completed in 11 hours and has no requirement for a drawing.

3.3.2 How and where is the Test Project / modules developed Each group must work independently of the other on the Discussion Forum in private/closed groups using the following criteria: In the case of project selection in two closed groups on the Discussion Forum the Chief Expert and Deputy Chief Expert will moderate one group each. Neither the Chief Expert nor the Deputy Chief Expert will have access to the other group.

Development process Timeline Task Between 9 months and 7 months prior to the Competition

Experts are divided into 2 module development groups.

The Chief Expert organises 2 closed forums, one for each group.

Returning Experts will change groups after each competition.

The Chief Expert will select which group (flat or 3D) a new Expert will be placed into.

A time table with the exact deadline dates for Test Project development must be placed on the forum at this time.

Between 7 months and 4 months prior to the Competition

Experts discuss the proposed projects and ensure they are compliant with 3.2.11 in the Technical Description

Experts of the non-compliant proposed modules have the opportunity to make their proposed module compliant and re-submit it.

6 weeks prior to the Competition All eligible Experts vote for one 3D or one Flat project in their respective closed forums.

The Technical Director posts the selected 3D and Flat Test Projects on the open forum for all Experts to view.

The selected Test Project modules and material lists are given to the Workshop Supervisor.

Starts 6 weeks prior to the Competition The Experts in each closed group (3D and Flat) prepare a proposal for a 30% change. 30 % change proposals CANNOT change the material lists. Experts are not to share their 30% change proposals with their Competitor. At this time, the official CIS spreadsheet is prepared and translations are made into the three official languages. Once this is complete, translations may be prepared in each Competitor’s chosen language.

the 30% change for both the 3D and flat project.

Proposals for the 30% change are accepted in their entirety and will not be modified to include other proposal ideas.

At this time the CIS is modified to account for the 30% change.

1. Experts are not to share their 30% change proposals with their competitor. 2. Proposals will be presented to Experts prior to the competition on day C - 4. 3. All proposals must be complete and follow the 14 steps outlined in 3.3.2 of the Technical Description. If the proposal is not compliant, it will not be considered for the vote. 4. Experts that are currently in the Flat forum will develop a 30% change proposal for the Flat project and Experts currently in the 3D forum will develop a 30% change proposal for the 3D project. Returning Experts who did not already present a proposal in their respective closed forum, may preset a 30% change proposal. 5. Drawings will not be modified at the competition site. Experts to ensure that are precise and complete. 6. A 3, 2, 1, vote will be held to choose one Flat and one 3D 30% change proposals on day C - 4. (These are the actual projects that will be built at the competition). To be eligible to vote you are either a new Expert or existing Expert that has presented a 30%

3.3.3 When is the Test Project developed The Test Project is developed: Before the Competition by each Expert and then posted to the relevant closed group in the Joinery Discussion Forum.

3.4 Test Project marking scheme Each Test Project must be accompanied by a marking scheme proposal based on the assessment criteria defined in Section 5.

3.4.1 The marking scheme proposal is developed by the person(s) developing the Test Project. The detailed and final marking scheme is developed and agreed by all Experts at the Competition.

3.4.2 Marking schemes should be entered into the CIS prior to the Competition.

3.5 Test Project validation

For a Test Project module to be compliant must meet the following requirements: It meets all the requirements listed in the Technical Description. Both the 3D and the Flat modules are able to be built in the 11 hour time requirement. Included

in the 11 hours for the flat module is a drawing set-out that will take approximately 1 hour to complete.

The Test Project modules must be built under the supervision of the designing Expert by a person of simular competence to that of a Competitor.

3.6 Test Project selection The Test Project is selected as follows: Only compliant modules are eligible for selection. The Test Project is selected by a vote of eligible Experts in each closed group on the Discussion Forum 3 months prior to the Competition. The Technical Director will advise which Experts are eligible to vote. The Technical Director monitors the vote by the eligible Experts and posts the selected modules in each of the flat and 3D modules on the open forum for all Experts to view.

3.7 Test Project circulation The Test Project is circulated via WorldSkills International website as follows: Modules are circulated to all Experts on the WorldSkills website 3 months prior to the Competition.

3.8 Test Project coordination (preparation for Competition) Coordination of the Test Project will be undertaken by: The Chief Expert and Deputy Chief Expert who will lead each closed project selection group on the Joinery Discussion Forum.

3.9 Test Project change at the Competition Three months before the Competition the Experts in each group (3D and Flat) prepare proposals for 30% change. Experts from the Flat closed forum work on a 30% proposal for the Flat module and Experts from the 3D closed forum work on a 30% proposal for the 3D module. Changes to proposals must work within the materials already identified on the Infrastructure List. At the Competition, a vote is made for the 30% change for both the 3D and flat modules. Proposals for the 30% change are accepted in their entirety and will not be modified to include other proposal ideas.

3.10 Material or manufacturer specifications Materials used for the project modules may be hardwood, manufactured panel products or combinations of these. Dressed material is to be supplied 0.5mm oversize, at a moisture content common to the Host Member country and considered of high quality by the Workshop Supervisor. Special consideration should be given to materials which exhibit a high degree of “green, enviro-friendly, eco-consciousness”. Samples of materials should be forwarded to all Experts and Competitors 6 months prior to the competition. The Workshop Supervisor will have at their disposal a professional/competent machinist to monitor the shapers during the Competition. This will be at a preferred coverage rate of one professional to two shapers and a maximum of one professional to three shapers. A student or apprentice is not suitable for this role.

Linework: Subjective Marking Points to consider when marking (note; CAD drawing full size is available to have along side for clarity and reference) are as follows: Lines are consistent Line types are present: object lines, hidden lines, break lines, etc. Lines have the correct line weights Neatness

Joint Details: Subjective Marking Points to consider when marking are as follows: Joint geometry and proportions are shown accurately Measurements: Objective Marking Points to consider when marking are as follows: Measurements within 1mm 100% Measurements over 1mm and up to and including 2mm 50% Measurements over 2mm 0%

WSC2013_TD25_EN Date: 11.10.11 – v4.0


11 of 15

B: Interior Joints This marking aspect checks the Competitor’s ability to form accurately fitting joint surfaces by hand and machine as shown on the competition project drawing. Each joint is apportioned a mark according to its complexity. All Competitors must identify each piece of material submitted for marking with their bench number only. After marking, Experts will identify which internal joints have been marked with a stamp or coloured marker. Points to consider when marking are as follows: Joints assemble so the internal surfaces of the joint are in close contact, but not so tight as to

require excessive force to assemble them. Tenons are parallel Mortises are parallel Tenon shoulders are not undercut The internal joint geometry conforms with the drawing – including length of tenon and depth of

mortise Surfaces have clean even sheared or cut grain without irregularities No silicone, wax or other foreign material is permitted in internal joints – just wood. C: Exterior Joints: Objective Marking This marking aspect checks the Competitor’s ability to produce an assembled project with good strong joints and no gaps. Points to consider when marking are as follows: Inspect for gaps on the external joint The joint is made according to the drawing The joint is complete

Tolerance Points Within 0.15mm 100% Up to & including 0.3mm 50% Over 0.3mm 0%

Note: Any filling or piecing in gaps = 0%. Use of silicone, wax or other foreign material in internal joints = 0%

D: Finish and Appearance This marking aspect determines the Competitor’s ability to produce a project with a good visual and architectural appearance. The marking criteria will include: Twist of component Surface finish of the component, Edge finish of the component Squareness of the component Fit of any panels Alignment of components Others may be added or some of the above subtracted depending on the nature of the project. Twist and squareness: Objective marking

Tolerance Points Within 1mm 100% Up to an including 2mm 70% Up to and including 3mm 40% Over 3mm 0

WSC2013_TD25_EN Date: 11.10.11 – v4.0


12 of 15

E: Conformity This marking aspect determines the Competitor’s ability to build the project exactly as described in the drawing. Penalties can be as follows but the final list will be determined by the CE, DCE and the marking panel during the Competition. Points to consider when marking are as follows: Missing panel Missing frame component Other non conformities e.g. a repair To a maximum loss of five points F: Measurement This aspect of the marking criteria determines the dimensional accuracy of the completed project, and will be marked as follows: Primary dimensions Measurements within 1mm 100% Measurements up to and including 2mm 50% Measurements over 2mm 0% Secondary dimensions Measurements within 1mm 100% Measurements over 1mm 0% G: Material This aspect of marking allows for the penalising of points for the replacement of non usable components. The penalties are as follows: Replacement of the first piece - 2 mark deduction Replacement of subsequent pieces - 1 mark deduction To a maximum loss of five points

5.4 Skill assessment procedures The Experts that attend the Competition will be divided into marking groups to assess each

section of the marking criteria. When dividing the Experts, consideration will be given to the composition of the module development groups.

The Chief and Deputy Chief Expert will train Experts on each area of the marking scheme so they know what to look for when assessing the Competitors’ work.

The Chief Expert will discuss how each section of the marking criteria will be assessed prior to adjudication to ensure conformity and consistency.

All Experts must meet one of the following criteria: o A practicing wood trade worker o A practicing wood trade educator o Hold a wood trade qualification

6. SKILL-SPECIFIC SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
